Excluding cells

[EwEDevTeam]

In previous releases of EwE, Ecospace cells could only be excluded from ecosystem dynamics by turning these cells to land. This can yield maps with unfamiliar coastlines.

We have decided to add an exclusion layer, where non-land cells to be excluded from ecosystem dynamics without having to change the bathymetry. This layer comes with a few features:

• Including or excluding cells does NOT destroy the content of other layers for these cells. The original layer data is preserved
• Maps are easier to recognize
• Users can opt to always show excluded cells for ease of model configuration, or to make Ecospace maps simply not render excluded cells yielding prettier maps
